Refrax are Australia's
premier importers of quality wood fired
pizza ovens from Italy.
These terra-cotta designs are suitable for both
domestic and commercial use. The design has
evolved over many years to become the proven leader in the demanding,
sophisticated European market and is acknowledged worldwide as the superior wood
fired oven. Baking in a wood fired oven is a time-honoured, traditional method which gives a
variety of foods such as pizza, focacce, bruschette, breads, pastas, cakes and
even roasts a flavour unmatched by any other style of cooking. The simple and
energy efficient design provides a large cooking area with constant high
temperatures, between 300 and 350 degrees Celsius, will bake much faster than
any other oven. Up to 10 pizzas can be cooked simultaneously in as little as 2-3
minutes. The following morning, oven temperatures are still high enough to be suitable for baking roasts
and vegetables. pizza ovens
The visual impact and warmth generated by these ovens create character
and ambiance in any environment and, positioned in the correct location, creates a focal point of activity where
everyone can see first-hand the skills
involved in making pizza the traditional way. The ovens are made in Italy by skilled artisans combining the experience of
past generations with the technology of today. Manufactured using a mix of
special cement and the best 'cotto Toscana' clay from the hills of Tuscany,
individual pieces are formed in moulds and baked to produce a series of
ingenious, interlocking shapes. These pre-cast units are then simply and easily
assembled to form the self-supporting domed oven. The use of a modern mixture of cement and terracotta as a refractory material
is designed to give the ovens a high thermal efficiency rating with a minimum
use of fuel, thus making them very economical to operate. Refrax
pizza ovens The optimum
temperature for baking pizzas at 340 degrees Celsius is easily sustained and
residual heat is retained overnight. The following morning, oven temperatures of
approximately 200 degrees are perfect for baking roasts, game, vegetables etc. These ovens comply
with stringent European guidelines on energy efficiency. They have been tested for odour emissions and when fitted with the
recommended exhaust system, comply with the odour design criterion as required
by the NSW EPA. Upon request, a gas back-up kit can be fitted. Only AGL parts, which comply
with the NSW gas standards, are used. Assembly is easy and straightforward. The ovens are bricked in and insulated
using sand, rockwool and vermiculite, and installation can be supervised by Refrax
staff. Because the terracotta units are pre-cast, they interlock together easily to
create the oven base and self-supporting dome. The exhaust system is fitted after
construction. Maintenance is quick, and easy - a regular
sweep with a brush to remove the ashes is all that is required. For more advice
